Functional Mobilization I
2023-11-10 08:00 - 2023-11-12 17:00 (America/Detroit) | Chico, CA IPA, Enloe Rehabilitation Center, Chico, CA, United States
IPA has led the profession since 1978 in the understanding and implementation of myofascial and soft tissue mobilization for treatment of human structure and function. FMI, (formerly FO I) was the first biomechanical soft tissue mobilization (STM) course offered to the PT profession. In FMI, the participant personally experiences the dynamic changes in his or her structure and function as well as facilitates changes in a lab partner during supervised lab sessions. Master clinician instructors guide the participants in:

An understanding of the dynamic Functional Manual Therapy® clinical reasoning system
Comprehensive discussion of the three pillars of FMT: Mechanical Capacity, Neuromuscular Function, and Motor Control
Observation of posture and dynamic movement assessment
Three Functional Tests to be used before and after each intervention
End feel assessment and interpretation
Localization of mechanical myofascial and soft tissue dysfunctions
Specific Functional Mobilization™ techniques which combine soft tissue and joint mobilization with active or resisted patient movements and PNF. With direct progressions into specific exercise training.

After taking FMI, the skills and techniques learned will directly impact your clinical practice by empowering you to create immediate changes in the function of the human body with three dimensional and localized manual therapy interventions. The immediate clinical impact of FMI stems from the supervised lab sessions in which the participants observe the correlation between the mechanical capacity of the soft tissue system and posture and functional movements. The concept of the human body as an interconnected and dynamic system permeates the instruction and lab practice sessions. Emphasis is placed on your skill development for both observation and manual treatment.

Postural Respiration
2023-11-11 08:00 - 2023-11-12 17:00 | Stillwater, MN PRI, 5639 Memorial Ave N, Stillwater, MN, United States
This advanced lecture and lab course is structured so that clinicians will gain an appreciation for the patterned respiration influences on: rib torsion, asymmetrical oblique strength, costal and crural function, habitual use of accessory respiratory musculature, and a positionally restricted diaphragm. The focus of this course will be to assess and restore polyarticular muscular chain function of both hemi-lateral thoraxes and their respective pleura. Treatment interventions including manual and non-manual techniques to restore reciprocal and alternating respiratory and rotational function of the thorax will be covered. Participants will be able to immediately apply PRI clinical assessment and intervention strategies when treating diagnoses that are related to undesirable airflow patterns, such as shortness of breath, thoracic outlet syndrome, and shoulder dysfunction.
